Remember when Mom had all the answers? Now it’s your turn.

Mom loves living here and it’s reassuring to know if her needs change in the future she has all the care levels on the same campus. And even if she outlives her savings, she’ll have a home here. Not all retirement communities can make that promise.

If you need answers about the best option for your loved one’s next move, contact Patty Hansel 502-736-7816, pattyh@echky.org, or visit our website echky.org.

Letter Editor

FROM THE

This past week, an article of particular interest to my age group made the social media rounds. But even before it started showing up on my newsfeed, it was showing up in my text inbox, forwarded from friends all with the same commentary: “Sound familiar?” “Wow, it describes me perfectly.” Or, just simply, “This!” The article orignated in “Oprah” and was about the “new” mid-life crisis, and how it is hitting Gen X women harder than ever before. There were many reasons leading to this “toxic brew:” We are working harder yet have less than the generation before us. We don’t feel like we are living up to the perfect standards reflected to us on Pinterest and Instagram (yet, we persist in losing quality time to those platforms). We don’t know what is next for us, so many resort to “wanting more” and making bad decisions to obtain it. This seemed to strike a heavy and dissonant chord among my circle of friends.

Ah, but here was the “good news.” According to research on the U-curve, happiness levels for both men and women significantly rise following this dip in our 40s (50s for men). Author Ada Calhoun went on to say, “by the time you’re elderly, you should be as happy as you were as a frolicsome youth.” That’s reassuring!

It’s often difficult to come to grasp with aging ourselves or as it relates to those we love, and the increasing vulnerability of my own parents is an issue that I spend many nights thinking (stressing, obsessing) about.

But, as we explore in this issue, advances in medical care, technology and quality of life have greatly changed what it means to be a senior in today’s world. Louisville offers myriad quality options for residential care and assisted living communities, offering assurance to families that their loved ones will have a socially full and active life. Whether a loved one is facing a terminal illness and needs round-the-clock care or can still live independently with occasional assistance, the facilities presented in our Senior Living special section can handle it all.

In addition to celebrating Masonic Homes’ 150 years in our community, healthy living guru Jeff Howard offers invaluable tips for the aging body that are useful at any age. Our Voice of Style, Alexandra Hepfinger, shows off some “Timeless Attire” that proves style knows no age limit.

I am reminded to always value time spent with our seniors and remember to seek the wisdom they have to impart.

I’m sure some may even have some sage advice on how to ride out this mid-life thing with grace.

n 80-seat movie theater, a café, a 300-seat performance space, a woodworking shop, an art studio and gallery — these are just a few of the amenities you’ll find at Meadow, one of two new multimillion-dollar senior living facilities that Masonic Homes of Kentucky plans to open next year on its 82-acre, park-like campus at 3701 Frankfort Avenue.

Meadow will be a 230,000-square-foot, 122-unit apartment-style complex, that will offer a putting green, community living rooms, a beauty salon and spa, a courtyard with a fireplace, fitness and aquatic centers, a library and a media room.

Masonic Homes symbolically broke ground on Meadow in September. Within the next six months, construction will also begin on Grove Pointe, a 48-unit assisted-living community being built to meet the needs of seniors who need help with daily tasks, such as bathing, dressing, transportation and managing medication.

Building new senior-living communities is a meaningful way for Masonic Homes to celebrate its birthday as the organization turns 150 years old this year. It opened the first Masonic home of its kind in the world, a community where widows and orphans of Masons received housing, meals, clothing and health care.

Masonic Homes spokeswoman Nicole Candler notes that “in 1866, a few days before Thanksgiving, seven Masonic Brothers gathered at Fourth and Green Streets in downtown Louisville to discuss an urgent call — an idea — sent out by an ex-Army surgeon, to care for the widows and orphans of Masons who died in the Civil War.” Near the end of the 1980s, Masonic Homes’ management team decided it was time to reinvent the organization — to find 1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

innovative ways to put its assets to use for the entire community, regardless of affiliation. The result was a focus on senior care.

A few years later, Masonic Homes undertook a study to more thoroughly evaluate its campus. The organization found it was located in a prime spot to offer additional senior residences and aging services, a market fueled by the needs of aging baby boomers. This research led the leaders to develop a community of 150 apartments called Village, a facility designed to meet seniors’ growing demand for independent living.

So buildings that were once the home of widows and orphans found new life. Several phases of building and renovations began in the second half of the 1990s, and that was just the start of significant growth for the Louisville campus. The organization also has facilities in Shelbyville and Northern Kentucky.

The success of Masonic Homes of Kentucky is the result of an historic Louisville caregiver building on four core principles — remarkable service, passion, growth and innovation — to repurpose and reposition itself at the forefront of modern senior care. This has helped the organization achieve significant revenue growth — from $14 million to $45 million during the past decade with revenue projected to reach $60 million.

“It’s incredible to look back on the start of Masonic Homes 150 years ago, and to look at where we are today,” says President and CEO Gary Marsh. “What started as a refuge for widows and orphans has evolved to focus on caring for older adults and is now on the leading edge of senior care services. We’ve stood the test of time by changing with the times.”

Masonic Homes of Kentucky, Inc. is a notfor-profit organization, and charitable gifts from donors have allowed the organization to provide many of the features and amenities that make their communities special.

In 1927, 18 buildings were completed on campus, and 427 children were brought to live in eight cottages. Thirty-five widows came to live in the original Widows Building.

150 YEARS OF COMMUNITY CARE

THE LEGACY CONTINUES

The organization that would become Masonic Homes of Kentucky was established before the first automobile was built, before the Belle of Louisville was launched and before Coca-Cola was invented.

The Civil War created hundreds of widows and orphans, and the home that Kentucky Masons envisioned for them in Louisville began in 1869 with a cornerstone laid in a cornfield during a blinding snowstorm. The Masonic Widows and Orphans Home and Infirmary opened on April 7, 1871, on the site of what is now duPont Manual High School.

Then “an influx of children orphaned by World War I began in 1918,” notes Candler.

“This, combined with an influenza epidemic, overcrowded the home. Leaders put together plans to raise money for a new community, which opened in 1926 on the Frankfort Avenue site of today’s Masonic Homes of Kentucky.”

In 1927, 18 buildings were completed on the campus, and 427 children were brought to live in eight cottages. Thirty-five widows came to live in the original Widows Building.

The next year, the site’s master plan was completed by the Olmsted Brothers, the renowned landscape architecture firm founded by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also directed the construction of Central Park in New York and the grounds at the U.S. Capitol.

On the home’s 100th anniversary in 1967, nearly 250 people were living at the facility: 67 children and 169 widows (80 of them in the infirmary). The home shifted its focus to senior care after the last child left near the end of the 1980s. The Pillars Assisted Care Center was created.

Masonic Homes of Kentucky was officially formed in 1993 by the merger of the Masonic Widows and Orphans Home and the Old Mason’s Home, which had opened in Shelbyville in 1901.

On the Louisville campus, the Masonic Homes dining hall was renovated in 1997 and renamed The Olmsted, which soon became a local landmark for events. The same year, six of the cottages that once housed widows and orphans were renovated into senior apartments and renamed Village. At the heart of this campus today is Club Olmsted, which features a cinema and billiards room as well as a crafts studio, library and card parlor. Village also includes the Bistro, a casual restaurant open to campus residents and their guests.

In 2001, the Spring Hill Village Retirement Community opened in Taylor Mill.

Soon after this, Masonic Homes began offering a range of services and accommodations for memory care, short- and long-term rehabilitation, personal care, skilled nursing care, dialysis, child development and more, including the $40 million Sam Swope Center, which opened in 2010 to offer senior care in a home environment. Reaffirming a commitment to youngsters, Sproutlings Pediatric Day Care & Preschool opened the next year on the Louisville campus to serve medically fragile children.

Still, more accommodations for seniors were on the way. Miralea Active Lifestyle Community opened on the Louisville Campus two years later. Masonic Homes promotes this community as a place where seniors can get “the comforts of home” with “the amenities of a resort,” including housekeeping services, fitness facilities and the full-service Juleps restaurant.

And some of the greatest change for Masonic Homes “has happened since 2003, when Gary Marsh became President and CEO,” Candler says. “Under his leadership, the organization has ushered in a new approach to services, implemented more modern facility designs and technology, and the number of staff and residents has multiplied.”

Candler also notes that Masonic Homes is

1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

F E AT U R E

“the Louisville area’s only retirement community to offer Life Care, which affords estate protection along with health care services at predictable pricing. Life Care residents are ensured a full continuum of care that will allow them to age in peace on a campus that truly feels like home.”

She adds that “for more than three years, we have been watching Miralea, our first Life Care community, grow from a concept into a real community. Even before the first Life Care resident slid their key into the door of their new home, we knew there would be more. We knew that interest in this type of lifestyle would grow in Louisville.”

Life Care starts at a $223,889 entrance fee. There’s also a Life Plan that starts at a $100,000 entrance fee. Masonic Homes’ apartments start at $735 a month, and health care services start at $295 a day.

To build Meadow, which is being designed for seniors at least 62 years old, Masonic Homes is working with Louisville-based Reese Design Collaborative, Louisville-based Paul Mattingly/Congleton-Hacker Constructors, Texas-based Greystone Communities, and Wisconsin-based AG Architecture.

Meadow is already 90 percent pre-sold.

To help finance the project, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority issued tax-free municipal bonds on behalf of Masonic Homes. These bonds generated $100 million, which is covering the $44 million construction costs for The Meadow’s as well as the $14 million price tag for Grove Pointe.

This continuing growth is a highlight of Masonic Homes’ sesquicentennial anniversary, which also has brought a year-long celebration called Heritage, Hope and Home.

Special projects and events have included a full-length documentary, which began airing on KET in February, and a Day at the Capitol, which featured lunch at the Kentucky Governor’s Mansion as Masonic Homes gathered with state, local and Masonic

leaders to recognize the role of Masons in the Commonwealth.

In December, you can take a Home for the Holidays campus light tour — an audio driving tour that will let guests experience the history of the Louisville and Shelbyville campuses, which will be decked out in lights and garland.

mericans aged 65 and older make up about 15 percent of our population. That’s about 46 million people, and the number is projected to double by 2060 when senior citizens are expected to comprise about 24 percent of the population.

Advances in medical care, technology and quality of life have greatly changed what it means to be a senior in today’s world. Older adults work longer — around 23 percent of men and 15 percent of women ages 65 and older are still employed and that number is expected to continue to rise.

Life expectancy is now 79 years, up from 68 years in 1950.

The gender gap in age expectancy is also narrowing, with women having an average of 5 more years of life expectancy than men (76.4 years versus 81.2 years). Seniors are also better educated and more financially stable than they’ve ever been. In 1966, 30 percent of seniors were impoverished, but today that number is down to 10 percent.

The changing landscape of senior living has made 80 the new 65 and has increased the need to carefully plan how and where to live life to the fullest during the senior years.

As research in aging shows, people with an active lifestyle and close social ties live longer and have a better quality of life, which is why many seniors seek out senior living communities and residential care services.

The Louisville area is fortunate to have an array of residential care services and assisted living communities, making it easier than ever for seniors to maintain independence and remain socially active while easing the burden on family caregivers. While it’s always better to have too many options than not enough, making the right choice for senior living is one of the most important decisions any of us will make and can feel overwhelming. For that reason, we’ve collaborated with some of our partners to put together this special Senior Living reference section for you and your family.

If 80 is the new 65, there’s a lot to look forward to, and plenty of reason to plan ahead and make the most of it!

5 Ways Retirement Communities Can Help You Maintain Your Independence

I

f your parents are nearing retirement age and living independently in Louisville, moving into a retirement community doesn’t mean giving up a self-reliant lifestyle.

Retirement communities today aren’t the institutional nursing homes of the past.

They’re open. They’re well appointed. Many are Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), in which residents progress as they age, from fully independent living, to choosing some assistance, all the way through advanced memory support and nursing care.

Here are five ways that modern retirement communities support residents’ independence, while providing them with the hospitality, medical monitoring, and support services they need.

1. NO HOME OR YARD MAINTENANCE REQUIRED Seniors who age in place in their own homes have to worry about repairs, landscaping, lawn mowing and other general upkeep to preserve their properties’ values and maintain a safe living environment. When moving into an independent living community, older adults can free themselves of the burden of home upkeep.

Does mom or dad have a green thumb?

There are options for active gardeners. Grow some vegetables or tend to rose bushes. It’s one of the many choices you will be offered at the best communities.

2. TAXES, UTILITY COSTS, AND MEALS — IT’S ALL INCLUDED Seniors who make the move to an independent living community can put money they would otherwise have spent on property taxes and utilities toward their apartment rent. On that basis alone, a move to a retirement community can more than pay for itself.

Many communities include meals in the monthly rent. That frees residents from the chores of grocery shopping and cooking, and often results in food budget savings.

16

3. MORE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS At most communities residents with personal vehicles have assigned parking spaces.

Many offer covered parking.

But residents who don’t drive, or no longer want to maintain a vehicle, will still get wherever they wish to go. Premier living campuses offer transportation to and from scheduled group outings — including weekly trips to the grocery, the mall, restaurants, arts events, local churches, and more.

And additional arrangements are made for seniors who need a ride to doctor appointments, who need to run errands, etc.

4. INDEPENDENT APARTMENT-STYLE LIVING In the past, older adults in retirement homes had only a single room, or shared with a roommate.

Modern CCRCs offer residents their own apartments, complete with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Some offer 2 and 3 bedroom floor plans providing options for a guest room or office.

Residents are free to furnish, decorate and customize their apartments as they see fit. They can cook for themselves if they so choose. They can do their own cleaning and tidying, or they can opt for hotel-like cleaning and laundry service (usually for an additional fee).

5. COUPLES REMAIN TOGETHER For aging partners, one of the key advantages of a move to a CCRC is that, if one partner’s health declines faster than the other, he or she doesn’t need to move to another retirement home to receive more care. Daily personal care services may be offered to enhance the quality of life while remaining in your home. And many offer memory care in the same complex, many times just down the hall.

With this added flexibility, one partner can transition to a memory care center, representing the continuum of care, without leaving the community at large.

Modern independent living communities promote choice and independence for older adults with plenty of freedom to live life as they wish.

Unlocking the Secret to Successful Aging

Belmont Village Senior Living shares keys to a purposeful life

F

or decades psychologists have been working to unlock the secret to successful aging and to determine how to define happiness in the eighth, ninth and even tenth decades of life. But how does one measure the potential for social, intellectual and emotional growth? It turns out that it’s not the sum of individual accomplishments that counts, but rather what one does to successfully maximize lifestyle at each life stage, and in each successive decade.

“People can mistakenly measure success by their living situation, such as living at home versus in an senior living community, but it is more about embracing a lifestyle that maximizes your best self,” said Beverly Sanborn, MSW, LCSW, gerontologist and vice president of program development for Belmont Village Senior Living. “What is critical for successful aging is being in a social environment. People are happiest in a supportive place where they feel valued and retain a sense of purpose. That may be possible to achieve at home if the senior has a very active, social lifestyle, but if daily engagement is limited or unfulfilling, the perceived advantage of aging at home could quickly give way to isolation and withdrawal.”

The successful aging philosophy is the framework for Belmont Village’s innovative programming. The company is a recognized

18

leader in interpreting university-led research into therapeutic programs, offering a whole brain fitness lifestyle that engages people at all activity and cognitive levels. From MBA® (Mind, Body, Awareness), a self-directed program for independent residents who want to stay active and maintain mental acuity, to Circle of Friends®, a dedicated, seven-daya-week program for residents with mild to moderate memory impairment, to the more tailored care plans for residents with late-stage memory loss, Belmont Village provides daily activities at every tier that offer engagement and socialization. Professionally trained memory coordinators and activity assistants work with each resident to create a personal, “just right” cognitive challenge that helps foster a sense of purpose and well-being.

“We design our activities and programs with the belief that everyone has something to contribute,” said Sanborn. “At every level of independence, we firmly believe that each person has value and can enjoy happiness.” Research indicates that mental fitness activities, along with a healthy diet and an exercise regimen that includes a combination of aerobic and strength-training, can help to build new neuro-connections in the brain.

So physical and memory limitations aside, looking forward and focusing on what can still be done builds a sense of personal peace

The successful aging philosophy is the framework for Belmont Village’s innovative programming. and happiness, or a positive outlook.

According to Sanborn, physical changes should not become an obstacle for successful aging, “It’s common to have a chronic condition, but one should not face this alone or remain in an environment that is isolated or lacks mental stimulation. Look forward, not backward, and you can see how rewarding a positive outlook can be.”

Belmont Village features a signature blend of hospitality and amenities combined with premier health and wellness programs.

Residents have everything they need to thrive – professionally managed fitness center with therapy services, a licensed nurse and welltrained staff on-site 24/7, and a vibrant social calendar. Residents enjoy chef-prepared meals, concierge services, and a full-service salon.

Belmont Village provides a continuum of memory care with a range of award-winning, evidence-based programs, from Mild Cognitive Impairment to later stage Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Programs identify individual interests and abilities, provide a structured routine, and help residents maintain a sense of well-being and purpose in daily life.

check out the staff that you are getting ready to pay? First, you need to schedule a visit to initially “kick the tires.” Are the employees neatly dressed? Do they seem happy? There should be a sense of “mission”, where there is an overall “heart” for caring. Next, schedule a second visit.

Dine with a few residents. Ask them lots of questions, especially about the staff.

Do they have a good relationship with the chauffeurs, housekeepers, dining room servers, and recreation planners. Was the food good?

Finally, getting back to the original subject, ask about the longevity of the staff.

In senior living services, the longer the staff have served, the more they probably like their jobs, and the more wisdom they have acquired with every situation of service.

ould you book an airline flight if you knew the pilot had only been flying a year or so? What about scheduling surgery with a physician who had only been practicing a few months?

When it comes to senior living, smart consumers should be asking similar questions.

Did you know that in most full-service senior living communities at least fifty-percent of your monthly service fee goes to pay the workers who serve the residents?

The Firebird Gala: A Flight to Freedom

A

s part of their season opener, Louisville Ballet is hosting a monumental gala with a very relevant theme on Saturday, November 11. The funds raised will help the organization continue their artistic work while also aiding the refugee citizens in our community. We spoke with Diane Davis, the Ballet’s Director of Development.

What sets the Firebird Gala apart from other galas you’ve held in the past?

Louisville Ballet customarily holds an opening night gala event during the first performance weekend of the season. This year, the theme is “Firebird Gala - A Flight to Freedom,” a reference to one of the two ballets in “Stravinsky!” This world premiere production of “Firebird,” choreographed by our Resident Choreographer Lucas Jervies, will be set in the context of a refugee crisis, so we’re partnering with Kentucky Refugee Ministries to maximize the impact of this performance.

We believe in the effect that performing arts can have on a community, but by going even further in this mission, we’re contributing to the larger community in a tangible, quantifiable way.

Who will benefit from this extraordinary affair?

We want the message of “Firebird” to go beyond the stage so a portion of the gala’s proceeds will benefit KRM. We believe in the effect that performing arts can have on a community, but by going even further in this mission, we’re contributing to the larger community in a tangible, quantifiable way.

How can Louisvillians get involved with supporting the Ballet?

The best way to get involved with Louisville Ballet is to experience a performance at the Kentucky Center or at one of our studio productions on Main Street. Join the thousands of families who have made The Brown-Forman “Nutcracker” a holiday tradition for years.

We are a creative, collaborative organization that is constantly delivering world-class dance art that is current and inspiring.

Louisville Ballet School has grown tremendously in the last ten years to educate over 700 students annually. In addition, the Education and Outreach Program brings the best of dance education and ballet program26

ming to community groups and businesses throughout the Commonwealth. We offer community events, workshops and afterschool programs while fostering ongoing relationships with several arts partners.

Making a financial investment in Louisville Ballet makes it possible to present existing and brand new works to the arts community. More importantly, it inspires and challenges our youth to make art that moves!

Are there any sponsors we should thank for their support?

Numerous corporate citizens have stepped up to support Louisville Ballet and Kentucky Refugee Ministries at “The Firebird Gala - A Flight to Freedom.” Namely, Brown-Forman, Hilliard Lyons, Republic Bank, LG&E, Heaven Hill, Nazareth Home, Merridian Home Furnishings and more.

How can guests purchase tickets to the gala?

Tickets are $350 per guest, which includes a seated dinner from Wiltshire Pantry, cocktails, Dessert with the Dancers, live entertainment provided by Kentucky Refugee Ministries, a premium ticket to “Stravinsky!” and an exclusive limited-edition “Stravinsky!” Toe on Egg poster dedicated to Julius Friedman.

Male and Manual Ready to Rewrite Old Rivalry Randy Whetstone Jr. Photos by Damon Atherton

T

his Friday will be the latest installment of the historic Male-Manual rivalry, also known as the Old Rivalry.

It is one of the oldest rivalries in the United States and is the oldest in the state of Kentucky. This year, both squads will be rewriting the history books in Manual’s backyard at 7:30 p.m.

Although both teams will take to the field Friday night, the animosity between the two schools began earlier in the week. Spirit-week is filled with fun and festivities, but also a week where students, faculty and staff gain intensity in their feelings toward the rival school. Male and Manual have clashed for over a century and both teams will try to out duel the other in the Battle for the Barrel.

Manual has held the advantage in the last decade. They have won six of the last 10 meetings, but have lost the last three games against the Bulldogs. They will look to end their losing streak, but it may be a tough task.

Manual (3-5) has struggled this season to post tallies in the win column and will look to avoid their first losing season since 2012 under former head coach Oliver Lucas.

The problem? Perhaps a lack of run production. The Crimsons’ running game has not been as dominant this year as it has been in recent years. They have averaged just 91.4 yards a game, while giving up 139.4 yards a game to their opponents. Manual’s losses have been close this season though. They have lost four of five games by a total of 24 points. The only disparity was a 22 point loss, 56-34, at the hands of St. Xavier.

The game will be the second match up between Manual Head Coach Scott Carmony and Male Head Coach Chris Wolfe.

Male (7-2) has allowed 110.5 yards on the ground for the season, but have ran the ball quite well on their end. They are averaging 198.3 yards rushing. The startling stat is that Male has only allowed 11.2 points a game to their opponents while putting up 34.6 points a game on their end. The scary asterisk is their two losses. In those games they have been shut out by both Trinity and St. X, losing 22-0 (Trinity) and 27-0 (St. X).

Matt Motley (5) watched the football intended for him with Jacoby Warfield (22) in tow in the 2016 matchup.

I had the chance to speak with Coach Wolfe about the upcoming game and here’s what he had to say: Describe what has made this historic rivalry special to you.

“The passion for the game. It’s a week long event at school and every student knows it’s Manual week.”

Describe the difference between this game versus other games.

“Bragging rights for a year. I’ve heard at Male class reunions the main topic is still who won the Male vs. Manual game.”

How is the week of preparation for your coaching staff and players when preparing for Manual?

“It’s very stressful. There are lots of events going on but for the most part we’ve tried to embrace the craziness.”

How does this game prepare your guys for the playoffs mentally?

“It’s a do or die atmosphere, similar to the win or go home mentality of the playoffs.”

Describe the school atmosphere during Male/Manual week.

“This is the week these kids remember forever. Lots of memories are created through the week but the one memory that will stick out is who has the Barrel when the dust settles on Friday night.”

Outside of the playoffs, would you say this game is the most exciting game you’ve coached?

“Without a doubt. It’s a remarkable experience.” VT 1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Gilda’s Club Puts a Positive Spin on a Cancer Journey

By Remy Sisk Photo by William DeShazer Breast cancer support groups meet at Gilda’s Club Louisville.

“L

iving with cancer is not a choice anyone would make, but how you live with it is – we are about living with cancer with laughter and joy, with style and purpose, living your life while cancer is a part of it,” relates Karen Morrison, president/CEO of Gilda’s Club Louisville. Since opening its red doors in Louisville in 2007, Gilda’s Club, located at 633 Baxter Ave., has been serving as a resource center for cancer patients as well as their loved ones, offering a place of hope and camaraderie in the face of a horrific illness.

Gilda’s offers over 100 free programs every month – programs that range from movie and karaoke nights to themed parties, yoga, zumba and, of course, support groups. Much of the programming at Gilda’s is peer-based, which allows all in attendance to feel like they are genuinely understood. “There’s always somebody three months ahead of you and somebody three months behind you, so you can be a mentor and a mentee,” Morrison describes. “And outside the red doors, people take each other food, take each other to the doctor, visit each other in the hospital – that community and the bonds they create here extend far beyond Gilda’s Club.”

Indeed, Gilda’s is unquestionably a resource for cancer journey support as well as educational and motivational offerings, but it also places a heavy emphasis on offerings that aren’t necessarily directly related to cancer. At Gilda’s, you can learn all you want to about the disease, but you can also take your mind off of it when you need to. “We host all kinds of purely social functions for families to come together and safely share and explore their cancer journey, and in some cases escape it because here, you’re normal – everybody’s

dealing with it so you don’t have to talk about it,” Morrison emphasizes.

However, there are also offerings that are site-specific to whichever cancer a member may be dealing with. In regards to breast cancer, Gilda’s hosts a breast cancer networking group as well as one tailored specifically for those with metastatic breast cancer. It also offers support groups that are only for those with breast cancer in addition to its broader options.

And what makes all of this especially unique is that these programs are available to the individual with cancer and also to those close to them. “We’re there not just for the breast cancer patient but for the children and the spouse,” Morrison affirms. “A lot of the youth in our kids program have a mom or a grandma going through breast cancer, and they’re experiencing all the psychosocial symptoms of cancer – the whole family gets affected by anxiety, fear, helplessness, hopelessness – and we’re treating those symptoms for the whole family.”

There’s truly nothing else like Gilda’s in the community – a place where everyone on a cancer journey can come together and choose to keep laughter and joy in their lives while battling the unthinkable. And at the end of it all – when the cancer is gone and life begins to return to normal, Morrison says that those touched by cancer often come away from it with a renewed sense of positivity: “Maybe you readjust your expectations, you redefine hope, you reorganize your priorities – a lot of folks, after they’re past a cancer journey, they’ll say, ‘Cancer was the best thing that ever happened to me because it makes me appreciate every day more. It makes me appreciate those I love more.’” VT

We are about living with cancer with laughter and joy, with style and purpose, living your life while cancer is a part of it.

How to Prepare for the Breeders’ Cup

THINGS TO DO

I

By Mariah Kline

n 2018, the Breeders’ Cup is returning to Louisville for two exciting days of racing at Churchill Downs. This race hasn’t taken place here since 2011 so it’s time to get hyped and prepare for what will be one of the most exciting weekends of the year. This week, I’ve broken down how you can prepare for next year’s race and what to expect when this highly regarded racing event returns to our great city.

GET THE WORD OUT

C

all your friends from out of town and make sure they’ve marked their calendars so you can start planning your weekend, whether you’re going to the race or just want to celebrate its return at one of the many parties that will be going down.

For those who were wondering, this race is different from the Derby because of how many international horses compete. Therefore, the crowd is going to be even more eclectic and fun (believe it or not).

BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR NEXT YEAR’S PARTIES

T

he J Wagner Group is known for producing some fantastic events for Derby and other events throughout the year, and the 2018 Breeders’ Cup will be no different. For this year’s race in California they’re bringing Jocktails to Del Mar Plaza. While Wagner can’t wait to bring some Southern hospitality to the Golden State, he’s even more excited for next year. “I am really looking forward to the Breeders’ Cup being back in my hometown and setting the bar high for 2018.”

START SAVING FOR 2018 TICKETS

T

ickets for the Breeders’ Cup at Churchill Downs won’t go on sale until the spring, which leaves you plenty of time to save your pennies.

Suites, boxes and general admission to the infield will be available so start thinking about how you want to experience the weekend. Go to breederscup.com/futurehost-sites to get on the newsletter so you’ll be the first to know when tickets are going on sale.

START SHOPPING FOR YOUR HAT

F

ashionable headgear is just as important for this fall race, but since the weather will be much colder, it’s important to plan accordingly.

“It’s best to wear a winter hat or fascinator made out of wool, velour or fur felt,” Milliner Jenny Pfanenstiel tells me. ”Embellishments like flowers look lovely in a velvet or wool in coordinating shades to match your outfit.

Typically you don’t see a lot of bright colored feathers and super large hats like the Derby.

This is an opportunity to think more elegance than extravagance.”

WATCH THE RACE AND PLACE YOUR BETS

T

his year’s Breeders’ Cup Championship will be broadcast on NBC Sports as well as Facebook Live on Friday and Saturday, so invite friends over to watch or head to your favorite local sports bar.

There’s no better way to acquaint yourself with the race and prep for next year than to watch it live. Go to breederscup.com/races/watch for the full schedule.

Then, head to twinspires.com to place your bets and learn everything you need to know about the qualifying horses. Happy betting!

Active Maturing and Fitness

By Jeffrey Howard Photos by Jillian Clark

W

e are living longer, healthier and hopefully happier lives.

I normally give you a workout you can do at home but I would rather talk about what is happening to us as we get older physically.

You have already heard plenty about diet, exercise and cardio. I wanted to give you a few tips that you might not have known, but will help you with your journey to live a long, healthy and active life.

BALANCE For years, loss of balance over the age of 65 has been attributed to gait, or the way we walk. It is common to observe a “shuffle” of the feet among those maturing in age. The reality is that the body starts to turn inward from our hips to our knees, all the way up to our shoulders. It’s important to incorpoate balance activities as we age. Tai chi, yoga, aqua fitness, dance and cardio workouts as well as simple “mall walking” or strolls around the park can address this.

The desired outcome is that we simulate balance techniques in a controlled environment. Therefore, when we are making that dash to the restroom or out the door and we happen to slip, muscle memory will engage and the muscle will respond like a symphony and recruit!

Aging leads to atrophy in fast twitch muscle response.

A new study was conducted on slow and fast twitch muscle response. Have you ever watched Funniest Home Videos and seen a person fall with no reaction to break that fall? This is due to lack of fast twitch muscle firing. When we are younger, our fast twitch muscles look like grapes, but with age they start to look like raisins. Aging and inactivity lead to atrophy in the fast twitch (FT) and make us unable to catch our fall.

Luckily, this can be reversed through muscle conditioning three to four times a week along with cardio exercise.

32

MOBILITY “If you don’t move it you lose it.” We are designed to move, but as we age this becomes more difficult. Not only does lack of mobility mean less freedom for the aging population, but it also puts them at risk for social isolation and lack of community which can lead to depression.

A January 2010 British Journal of Sports Medicine article suggests that people who sit for lengthy periods of time have an increased risk of disease. A 2008 Vanderbilt study of 6,300 people estimated that the average American spends 55 percent of waking time (7.7 hours per day) in sedentary behaviors.

Women who were inactive and sat over six hours a day were 94 percent more likely to die during the time studied than those who were physically active and sat less than three hours a day (men were 44 percent more likely).

Standing more each day will tone muscles, improve posture, increase blood flow, ramp up metabolism and burn extra calories.

Here’s a story close to my own heart: My folks planned a vacation of a lifetime. My mom (86) has severe arthritis in her hips and wrists and severe asthma. My dad (89) has scoliosis and knee issues as well as vertigo. Yet they were determined go. I had them start by walking in the mall and bought them a very inexpensive step counter to monitor their steps. They started at 15 minutes and gradually increased to an hour. They loved seeing the steps calculated and even did extra on days they hadn’t met their goal. It took a few months, but they soon became comfortable with their progress. My dad became nervous about carrying the luggage (he knows my mother). We then added one shopping bag 1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

common perpetuating factors of fibromyalgia and people with head forward posture have a greater rate of mortality.

Lets help one another by reminding each other to stand tall with shoulders back. Stand against a wall bringing the back of your head against it with head over shoulder and shoulder over hips. When you are engaging in fitness activities that require laying on your back (supine) and your chin tilting to the sky feels uncomfortable on your neck, go ahead and grab a towel, blanket or small pillow and support your head. We do not want to put undue stress or strain on the upper part of our spine (vertebrae). VT

TIPS TO LIVE A LONGER HEALTHIER LIFE:

with a light item in it, gradually increasing the weight and finally added another shopping bag and repeated the process. Happily, they had an amazing holiday and returned with memories they cherish. The moral of the story is start small. Instead of the elevator or escalator, try the stairs, maybe not every day, maybe every other day. I invite you to move!

POSTURE You heard mom say, “stand up straight.”

Turns out, she knew what she was talking about. With the process of aging, time and gravity, we tend to slouch forward. Sit up straight—ear over shoulder.

Head forward posture can cause the loss of up to 30 percent of lung capacity (primarily due to the loss of the cervical lordosis).

The large intestine may be effected, resulting in sluggish bowel function and evacuation.

Slouching also contributes to chronic pain conditions including lower back pain, neck related headaches and stress-related illness as well as jaw disorders such as TMJ. Head forward posture is one of the most 1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

• Stand up every 30-40 minutes if you have been sitting.

• Go for a walk 10-15 minutes 3-5 times a week.

• Try something new—yoga, tia chi, aqua fitness (the internet or library are a great free source for this).

• Join a club (book, games, church) that you must attend at least every other week.

• Turn on the radio and simply dance for at least 3-4 songs.

• Carry one bag of your groceries to the house at a time.

• Use the stairs when you can.

• Stand up straight as much as possible.

• Make lunch your biggest meal of the day.

• Get a step counter. See how many you do in a day, week and month. It’s your journey, you are the one keeping count!

Standing more each day will tone muscles, improve posture, increase blood flow, ramp up metabolism and burn extra calories.

Commonwealth Theatre Center Embraces the Timelessness of ‘The Crucible’

By Remy Sisk

“THE CRUCIBLE” Continues through October 21 commonwealththeatre.org

... serving as a razor-sharp allegory for the mid20th-century McCarthyism in the U.S. 34

A

s we approach Halloween, local theatre has several options for whatever your particular flavor of macabre might be. For those interested in classic terror and drama, there’s Actors Theatre’s “Dracula.” For those looking for campy cult-classics, there’s Acting Against Cancer’s “The Rocky Horror Ball.” But for those looking for more suspense complemented by world-class acting and some of the most revered writing in American theatre, Commonwealth Theatre Center’s “The Crucible,” which opened last weekend, could be the show for you.

Commonwealth Theatre Center, which is the rebranded name of the Walden Theatre and Blue Apple Players 2015 merger, still maintains both facets of the two companies that came together to create this single entity. While Blue Apple Outreach focuses on the organization’s work in the community and in schools, Walden Theatre Conservatory is the name of the educational institution that is the region’s largest theatre conservatory for those aged 5 to 18.

Comprised of 270 students, the conservatory offers a robust season each year, seasons that are rife with rich acting opportunities for students as well as engaging theatregoing opportunities for the community at large.

Over the last several years, Walden has taken it a step further by annually producing one show per year that features its professional adult company. In the past, these shows have included just a few student actors alongside the adults; however, with this production of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible,” running through October 21, the cast is half-and-half professionals and students.

Set in the time of the Salem witch trials, “The Crucible” examines the complex relationships and mass hysteria that permeated the Massachusetts Bay Colony in the late 1600s while also serving as a razor-sharp allegory for the mid-20th-century McCarthyism in the U.S. The characters range widely in age – from the teenage girls hurling accusations and possibly false claims to the mid-30s protagonists and the older townspeople as well.

Walden is consequently presenting the show with a cast that Artistic Director Charlie Sexton calls “age-appropriate,” in which students play the younger characters and professional actors portray the adults. For example, in the central roles of John and Elizabeth Proctor are Jon O’Brien and Hallie Dizdarevic, both themselves Walden alums who in fact graduated together in 2004. Meanwhile, Frances Rippy, a current senior in the conservatory, will be playing the pivotal role of Abigail Williams.

In regards to the conservatory’s presentation of the play, Sexton emphasizes that he will be strictly presenting it as written as opposed to transporting the story to another time or situation, as is so often done elsewhere. “I’ve heard of productions of ‘The Crucible’ where they set it in modern day, wearing suits and ties and school uniforms and things of that nature, and I have nothing against that,” he says. “But in this case, we’re doing it straight-up to the best of our ability and letting the audience draw their own conclusions. ” “The Crucible” is also connected to the more educational side of Walden. In fact, the season and curriculum regularly work in tandem so that the students are deeply studying texts that are similar to those in production: “What we have is sort of a five-year wheel when we plan our seasons because our seasons are very much tied to our curriculum in the advanced classes. For example, we’re about to proceed to Greek drama classwork in their rotation so that they’re studying it while at the same time performing or seeing a Greek play,” Sexton elaborates, referring to “The Comedy of Oedipus: You’re the One Who Killed the Beast” later this year and “The Trojan Women” in early 2018.

“The Crucible” is indeed the rare confluence of a wonderful educational experience for students, a stellar showcase of professional actors and a suspenseful script perfect for the time of year. It’s an iconic piece of drama that will not only allow actors of all ages to shine but also bring the multifaceted, timeless themes of “The Crucible” into present-day audiences’ minds. As Sexton maintains, “It’s like cooking with the best ingredients you can find.” VT 1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

The Power of Peter Pan

ou can go back to being what everyone expects you to be, or you can find the courage to write your own story.”

It was that line, delivered by Captain Hook to J.M Barrie, creator of Peter Pan, that resonated so deeply with acclaimed Broadway Director Diane Paulus that she knew she must bring the story of “Finding Neverland” to the stage.

I had the opportunity to speak with Paulus in New York City earlier this year when traveling to announce the upcoming PNC Broadway Louisville season. When asked why theatre audiences may consider this classic tale, despite having seen the movie, she said, “The story of Peter Pan is a call to anyone of any age to ask themselves, ‘When do we wake up and live the life that we know we need to live instead of the life we think we should be living?’ We can never be reminded of this enough.”

For those familiar with the 2004 Oscar-winning film, you know that Barrie, played by Johnny Depp in the movie, finds inspiration in a widow and her four sons.

From there, the magical world of Neverland was imagined, a risky play to produce for the high society of London. The beauty of the stage production is in the ability to be a voyear of the backstage action through the trials and fears of production.

American theater historian Didlier Deutsch says, “The story of Peter Pan has always held a special fascination for children of all ages, and with good reason – it offers a swashbuckling adventure combined with 1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

some of man’s most secret desires, to fly and explore another world somewhere beyond the stars, and never to grow old.” Indeed for over one hundred years, Peter Pan has made a lasting impression on pop culture.

Paulus offers that “Finding Neverland” is also about redefining family. “When J.M. Barrie took this artistic plunge in 1904, he really came into his own as an artist, but he also discovered himself as a father,” she explained.

It’s hard to imagine a time without Peter Pan and despite the character’s continuing influence on our collective psyche, it’s easy to miss the point entirely without the benefit of “Finding Neverland.” This touring production serves as a stimulating call to action in life. As Paulus described, “This story is a reminder that ‘I’ve got to wake up, do what I love and take a risk.’ That’s where the riches of life will lie.”

The production features choreograpy by Emmy Award-winner Mia Michaels of “So You Think You Can Dance”-fame and is packed with mesmerizing visuals, irresistible songs and plenty of laughs. It is a timeless story about the power of imagination with proof that you never really have to grow up.

Finding Neverland will play at The Kentucky Center October 24-29. The performance schedule is Tuesday through Thursday evenings at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday evening at 8 p.m., Saturday matinee at 2 p.m., Sunday matinee at 1 p.m. and Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are available at The Kentucky Center, by phone at 502.584.7777 or online at kentuckycenter.org VT

hile some cannot deny the desire for a large and extravagant wedding, others opt for small, low-key affairs. Rather than spending months worrying about every little detail and stressing over how to get it all done, Cynthia Williams and Brian England decided on an intimate ceremony for their summer wedding.

Cynthia and Brian met in the park a little over two years ago when Cynthia was running and Brian was walking his dog. The two immediately hit it off and have been together ever since. Once they decided to get married, the couple knew they wanted a laid back celebration and set the date of June 28 for their destination wedding.

According to Cynthia, the only difficult part of the planning process was deciding on the location. But once they chose the Excellence Riviera Cancun, the venue, photographer, food and accommodations were all taken care of by the resort.

“It was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life,” she says. “It was so simple. We just picked out a package from the resort, showed up and everything was done for us. It was amazing.”

The couple’s guest list included 18 close friends and family members who made the journey for their wedding. The day of the nuptials, Brian wore simple clothing of linen and Cynthia wore a perfectly understated yet elegant dress from a consignment shop in St. Matthews.

On the morning of the wedding, the whole party gathered together for breakfast before Cynthia headed to the resort’s spa to have her hair and makeup done. Once she was ready, her mom, best friend, mother-in-law and sister-inlaw joined her for champagne in her room.

At three o’clock that afternoon, Cynthia’s dad escorted her down the pier overlooking the ocean where the ceremony took place.

“It was so perfect and laid back,” Cynthia says. “The water was gorgeous and so crystal clear you could see to the bottom of the ocean, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather.”

The couple and their loved ones enjoyed a lovely cocktail hour and full reception at the resort after they exchanged vows. Later that evening, they went out to celebrate and enjoy Cancun’s nightlife.

After the wedding, Cynthia and Brian stayed in Mexico an additional four days for their honeymoon. Brian works for LG&E and Cynthia is the busy owner of 502 Fit Pass. While she has hardly had a day off since, she and her new husband look back fondly on their nuptials and are thankful for the experience of a low-key wedding. VT

A “Magical” House

ecky Terry was cocooned in a bubble of good karma when she made the decision to sell her house and move to another.

“A couple walked into my house and said they wanted it. Just like that,” she says. As if that weren’t enough of an amazing stroke of good luck, she was about to encounter another. Knowing her buyers’ house was for sale, and she was in the market for one, she went for a visit. It was a short visit. “I walked in and told them I wanted it,” she says of what essentially became a house trade.

Adding to the unusual circumstances was the commonality of colors used in both houses. Clearly, she and the couple have similar tastes. The buyers further solidified the connection by purchasing some of her furniture that now remains in their house.

Terry, a partner in the medical practice Women First, thinks of her new Federal-style Highlands home as perfect for her objective of downsizing. She turned to interior designers Rick Jenkins and Virgil Vaughn for their vision and expertise.

Especially intrigued with the design duo because she had been told Rick was “good with color,” she expressed to them that she hoped the house would be comfortable and cozy, a place where guests would feel welcome and would not be in a hurry to leave.

“I wanted my home to be like a salon in Paris where Gertrude Stein would have held

court. I thought of the rooms in my house as being spaces that would prompt conversations about art and other interesting topics,” she says.

She and the house “swappers” moved in and out on the same day. She hates the moving process but relishes the chance to create a totally new environment. Jenkins and Vaughn took many of the headaches out of moving.

Familiar with the furniture she was relocating from her old house to the new one, they had planned out furniture placement before the van was unloaded.

“I’m not just a pop of color person. I love to be surrounded by color. Maybe that’s from being a brunette,” she says. Color in the house comes primarily from artwork, rugs and upholstered pieces. Other than in the den and kitchen, all of the walls have been painted a soft cream color.

A collection of antiques, such as the English sideboard in the dining room, and an old table that was restored by her father permeates the house with history.

1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Purple/brown walls and a red sofa lend an intimacy to the den, making it her favorite room. Formerly a bedroom, it still serves as a bedroom for visiting family to utilize a pullout bed and appreciate the convenience of the adjoining full bath. On the wall is art of Café Tortoni, a tango club in Buenos Aires. “I have been to the club twice. I don’t do the tango because I have no coordination, but I love Buenos Aires. It’s so beautiful. Going there is like going to Europe without having the jet leg,” says Terry.

She and the designers converted the sunroom to a study that has the benefit of its light-filled predecessor. Off the study is a powder room where a touch of bling is introduced by lights from Turkey. Several lamps she had in her former house were given a refreshed appearance with new shades while several additional fixtures were integrated into the décor. One in particular reflects how she and her designers often thought alike. She had seen one in Pottery Barn that appealed to her although she didn’t buy it on the spot. Jenkins 39

and Vaughn called to tell her they had found a light she should see. “When I realized that they were talking about the same one, I said, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s the one I liked!’”

Her attraction to color is evident in the living room where a cream color sofa and chairs allow rugs from Fran Jasper Oriental Rugs to provide a distinguishing character in reds, greens and blues. Terry chose to retain the original tile around the fireplace where the eye is drawn to two inserts of Medieval knights. On the wall are photographs by Julius Friedman and Chuck Swanson of the Ohio River. Had it not been for Jenkins’ and Vaughn’s suggestion of making two tweed chairs part of the living room décor, the chairs would have languished upstairs. “The chairs were in my other house.

They’re so comfortable, but I never would have thought to put them in the living room here.

But once they were, I realized they look great,” she says.

The dining room is distinctive for its apple green walls that the designers waxed.

Occupying a prominent position is a painting by Carlos Gamez de Francisco.

Traditional meets contemporary in the light fixture over the dining table.

Terry had the existing cherry wood kitchen cabinets painted a light cream color and changed the pale green walls to melon. The 40

house’s former owners, GE executives, previously installed all GE appliances. “The range was electric, but I prefer to cook with gas. The owners knew that, and much to my surprise replaced the electric range with a gas one. I couldn’t believe they were so gracious. Who does that?” asks Terry. She is such a fan of the GE appliances that she, her dog Charlie, her daughter Nora and one of Nora’s friends were asked to be photographed in the kitchen for GE marketing material.

Opening off the kitchen is a breakfast area in which a daybed made by her grandfather provides seating for a distressed wood table from Arhaus. African accessories and personal mementos contribute to the space’s interest and warmth.

Not all of the redesign took place inside the home. The red brick exterior was painted white and the classic cedar, Chippendale-style fencing in the back yard was stained creamy gray and topped with copper finials.

A hectic schedule limits the amount of time she has to garden, so she selects plants that require minimal care. A plethora of hydrangeas dress up the garden with lush color.

As she walks through the house and looks over the garden, she says, “I have owned only three homes and I’m only the third owner of this house. To me, it is magical.” VT 1 0 . 1 9 . 2 0 1 7 V O I C E -T R I B U N E . C O M

Truly Kentucky Experiences

By Carla Sue Broecker

THE FILLIES – CHOOSING A COURT Glenda Thome, president of The Fillies, is a very busy woman these days. Even though the Derby and Derby Ball is next year, she and the members are already hard at work.

Glenda did take a break last week and had a luncheon where all of the past presidents of The Fillies were invited.

There were lots of pictures from past balls along with some hilarious incidents that were crises at the time but have now become part of the lore and history.

Natalie Brown, a UofL graduate from Crestwood, is the current queen. She was an Honor Scholar, a Trustee Scholar and a Cardinal Ambassador with a major in communications.

The Delta Zeta sorority member was also a volunteer at Heuser Hearing & Language Academy.

The Fillies Derby Ball will again take place at the Galt House. Mark your calendar, for April 14 is the date.

There are over 100 applicants for next year’s royal honor. The three out-of-state judges will have two rounds of judging, one of which will be in November and the other in January.

The Fillies will have a new robe for this year’s Festival Queen. Millie Lopez, a noted photographer and costume designer for classical ballet, is copying the Queen’s robe that has been used forever and it is shot! Millie lives in Arkansas but has family and friends in Danville, Columbus and Louisville. She is volunteering her time and only being compensated for the materials she is using. She is also making a “traveling” robe to be used when the queen is out and about at less formal occasions.

The Fillies work jointly as a nonprofit organization in promoting Derby Festival activities, the official Derby Festival Program, the Children’s Tea and the Royal Court Float in addition to the Ball. They are proud of their annual contributions to The Kentucky Derby Festival Foundation and are committed to continued service to the people of the great Commonwealth of Kentucky.

BOURBON POMPEII Archaeologist Nick Laracuente has uncovered the history of O.F.C. Distillery. Bourbon

enthusiasts and historians will enjoy this special dig into the excavated ruins of Col. E. H. Taylor’s late 1800s distillery. It is like Pompeii, hidden for years on the grounds of the current Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort.

Mint Julep Tours has a tour of the site, nicknamed Bourbon Pompeii. Highlights will include an extensive tour of the excavation site led by Bourbon Archaeologist Nick Laracuente, a guided tasting of Buffalo Trace Distillery bourbons in the Old Taylor House and a craft cocktail paired with appetizers in the George T. Stagg Gallery.

Bourbon Rocks and Ruins digs deeper into O.F.C. Distillery than any other tour available.

Guests will visit century-old spaces throughout the grounds while learning from the state’s leading Bourbon-focused archaeologist. From the Old Taylor House, the oldest residential structure in the county, to the relics in the George T. Stagg Gallery, every aspect of this inside tour is rich with history.

Bourbon Rocks and Ruins departs Thursday, November 2 from the Galt House at 3:45 p.m. and returns at 9:30. The cost is $175 per person. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Woodford County Heritage Committee.

For more information visit mintjuleptours.com/ exclusive-experiences Colonel Taylor was born in Columbia in 1832 and was a descendant of two U.S. presidents and lived an aristocratic life as a banker before entering the world of whiskey. He would become known as the father of the modern bourbon industry through groundbreaking innovations at O.F.C. Distillery in 1873.

His flagship product, Old Fire Copper Whisky, melded traditions of distillers before him with forward-thinking processes and marketing.

Today, Buffalo Trace is an American family-owned company based in Frankfort. It dates back to 1773 and includes such legends as E.H. Taylor Jr., George T. Stagg, Albert B. Blanton, Orville Schupp and Elmer T. Lee. It is a fully operational distillery producing bourbon, ryeand vodka on site and is a National Historic Landmark. VT
